This band should have been global. The talent, lyrics and such smooth song transition alone is not only unique, but a beautiful orchestra. There is so much talent in Scotland.
Anne Phair this was absolutely not brushed under the carpet in anyway, Kris Donald was murdered in a racially motivated attack by a gang of 4 men of Pakistani origin, they were captured and convicted. It’s an absolutely tragic story
I remember when this song came out but didn't know till I read the op comment that it was about Kris's murder. One of the most horrific crimes I've ever read about 😥
This song is a masterpiece, from start to finish. I’ve loved this band for the past 15 years. Sadly I’ve never had the opportunity to see them live. Hopefully one day. 🏴
I worked with Kriss Donald’s sister, Sam. Such an amazing woman. So full of life and wonderful energy, despite the pain she endures. Always think of her when I hear this song.
This album is amazing. I've listened to it since release and I always come back to it regularly and listen to it start to finish. A timeless masterpiece
This song always makes me emotional because the meaning behind it. Such a disgusting vile crime that was commited on an innocent young boy should never ever have happened. I hope his family have found peace my heart goes out to them. The band done a beautiful job with this song. Rest easy kriss 15/3/04🕊️🪽
Iam originally from glasgow but live in England & remb reading about this boys story online in the evening times, it never made our news so i have shared his story many of times over the years & my friends shared it & so on, he WILL always be remembered as for them things of killers i would'nt give them any kind of title other than in human things! Bless his forever young soul & his family ❤💙❤💙
besides The Beetles and Coldplay.... No other band have mad such an impact on my life. i will never forget the first time i heard there music, and will never forget the first time i saw them live. it will forever always have a place in my heart.
Hey, Sooper, do correct the misspelled words too next time, for the full effect/package. The comment was also old enough to maybe wonder if the person who left it is still alive, but nothing will ever stop one being judgemental and a pro nitpicker, I guess. (Yeah, if one can enjoy Coldplay or much, much worse stuff that have been popular, you and I both can't do anything about it other than offering some criticism in a relaxed and constructive way, and whatever each one wants to keep listening to, they will. Rudely questioning one's taste is just silly and can/will be seen -maybe because it is that- as an indirect insult and an attempt to make ourselves look superior, when in reality no music/song/artist is truly perfect and a person's taste means very little in the end, or so I've found by meeting certain ppl, lol.)
I wasn't very keen on Glasvegas when I first heard them. I saw them in Bilbao last Summer and that was top quality. They sound really shoegazy live and they play very loud. Great concert! I listen to them a lot now.
Thinking of that young lad who never returned home all those years ago. These many years later and I'm glad decent folk out there still remember young Kris Donald from Pollokshields.
This song is about Kriss Donald, a 16 year old who was murdered by a group of Pakistani 'men' in a racist attack. They kidnapped him, drove him 4 hours across Scotland before holding him down, stabbing him 13 times and setting him on fire with flammable liquid. It always makes me so fucking angry reading about it, and especially when people make jokes about the song.
*... and the 1400 girls.* of course, never racially motivated when Whites are the deliberate victim due to our Traitor political class and lying MainSteamMedia
Vaguely remember his name from the news - never realised this song was about him. Poor lad. Interesting story from STV News App from Feb 2017 about one of the gang changing his name and getting locked up this year on abduction and violence charges...
I agree that it is extremely emotional throughout all tag lines musically and cinematography speaking. It was well produced in every way but definitely communicated a strong deep dark sadness in its presentation. Great job band, vocals, videography, photography, lighting, and production!
it's the first i'm getting such a strong feeling to cry - may he, ross parker and steven lawrence rest in peace - racial hatred is like slow-killing poison . let's all hope to a better future world.
This "better future world" ??? *Very naive. How's it possible ???* You mean breed everyone to be the same breed ? *That will involve a huge amount of marginalisation and despair to do so and the inevitable backlash has began. You can't kill off racial difference without destroying people. Remember, before the Age of Mass Immigration, things were quite stable and balanced compared to now.*
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. I hope you noticed, how much I loved you. How could they take my sunshine away. Still here in 2020. Still here bawling when this part hits.
So poignant to me. Growing up in a place where fitba taps displayed meant death ofva youngster, by accident or deliberately. Love Glasvegas for putting it so eloquently, artistically and articulately. Seen them at The Bandstand in Kelvingrove few years ago and never forget it. Stay safe 🏴🏴🏴
@shaakirei This song was written about a scottish boy Kriss Donald, who was murdered because of racism, he was kidnapped then stabbed then they poured gasoline on him and burned him alive. some people are absolutely disgusting. this boy probably had such a life ahead of him, racism isnt fair. poor kriss rip :(:(
Ewald Godula you mean when the IRA, Chechen terrorists and ETA were slaughtering people? There’s always been terrorism. The 90s were no better than the 00s. You’re just letting your nostalgia blind you.
PunkyHipHopDude, No, don't fudge the issue. The terrorism we suffer now is far greater in Europe and the UK than any previous terrorism. Every day there are reports of machete attacks, vehicular attacks (see #Justice for Our Boys - three boys deliberately murdered by an ISIS sympathiser and his mate in Hayes, London, January 2018) and bombing attempts and that is even with state suppression of truth. Bollocks to your lies. Do you work for the BBC or C4 or The Guardian by any chance? They only deal in lies and suppression of truth when it comes to migrant crime. UPDATE: Brilliant take down of the corrupt BBC who will pay people to fake sexual harrassment and fake racist accusations to bring down a TRUTH TELLER. ua-cam.com/video/wNd2bvLvyk4/v-deo.html
@@hiphopdood The issues with IRA, Chechens and ETA were indigenous. Who in their right mind would import millions of muslims and create a terrorism problem where none existed?
Found you! We're playing 'Spot The Nazi In The UA-cam Comments Section.' I swear to you - EVERY video! Give it a try. Go for something really banal looking. But he or she will still be down there! Have fun hunting fascists!
always loved this song but never knew what it was about, i remember when this happened to kriss donald (am from glasgow) n a was bout 15 at the time, happened around ma area. iv always thought this was a really important song in my life, now iv found it its about kriss, it has so much more depth. R.I.P Kriss Donald
@jaytotheell The title comes from the Britsh tradition of laying the tops of the deceased favourite football team alongside flowers at the graveside, or, sadly if they had a violent death, as in Kriss Donald's case, the place where they died. Kriss was a 15 year kidnapped, tortured and left to die by a gang of Pakistani immigrants in a racist attack. R.I.P. Kriss Donald
Kris would have been 36 today , RIP Kris and thank you Glasvegas for helping preserve his memory with such a hauntingly beautiful song.
Kriss Donald. Never will you be forgotten young man. Glasgow will always remember.
RIP kriss 20 years ago today. Gone but not forgotten ❤
Rip Kriss ❤
Scotland will never forget you 🏴💙
This band should have been global. The talent, lyrics and such smooth song transition alone is not only unique, but a beautiful orchestra. There is so much talent in Scotland.
We produced so much music and art born of pain and hardship . We been haunted for eons of time
Actually I discovered these guys in like 06 or 07...they were getting quite alot of play here in the U.S. with Geraldine!
Play this periodically so I never forget the vile crime committed by those pond life bar stewards and to remember Kris. God bless.

@Scott Allan Yeah. It's Kriss. 😏
@@321bytor did you know him?
Rest in Eternal Peace, Kriss Donald.
Scotland's hearts are still broken.
@kjellolofsson6767 English hearts are still broken over what happened to Kriss too.
This song is a masterpiece, from start to finish. I’ve loved this band for the past 15 years. Sadly I’ve never had the opportunity to see them live. Hopefully one day. 🏴
Somewhere between suffering and beauty exists a song . RIP lad - you have a name.
His name is Kriss Donald.
💔👌🍀
Excellent comment
What a superb comment 👍
RIP lad
I worked with Kriss Donald’s sister, Sam. Such an amazing woman. So full of life and wonderful energy, despite the pain she endures. Always think of her when I hear this song.

My god I forgot how marvelous this record is. Particularly love this song and "It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry".
AMAZING. EPIC. In my opinion, one of the best Scottish songs of all time.
RIP Kriss Donald.
Gone but not forgotten...

not often a video stands up to same class of the song!
I must admit I'm not a great lover of contemporary pop music but I'm going to make myself like this song and follow this band.
What a tune
God bless 💚
